Does that mean we have to listen to Wilkin even more.

Let's hope not.

Good to see, long overdue. He could do with taking Baz and Tez with him as well. The coverage needs a major overhaul.

Clarke should have left years ago. His position was always a conflict of interests, he used it repeatedly to big up the players his brother had as clients as a RL agent. He made some ridiculous statements about players and you could always tell which of his brother's players were looking for a move when they started being highlighted for no apparent reason.

He also made repeated attempts to influence the game as well. Most recently when he called Saints cheats and called for the referees to stop allowing us to concede six agains rather than letting tries in, just before a game against Wigan. He also called for several players to be banned the week before they were playing Wigan, another abuse of his position.

Wilkin is no better, I hope Sky aren't going to push him into the 'say something controversial for the sake of it' role. He annoys enough people just breathing that he'll drive people away from the coverage if they give him more of a platform.

Keep Carney, get rid of the rest of them.

Hopefully Wilkin follows him.

Good luck to Phil in his next adventure as a submarine captain.

He'll be replaced by someone just as dull as the others, my god how i miss Eddie and Stevo, actual personalities with humour. Now we sit listening to bland dull person after bland dull person.
Hearing the start to each game will now only be 15mins before kick off each game, and i cannot wait

This no doubt mean more of JJB's unintelligible rants

Christ i hope not. Can you imagine if you're watching as a new viewer for the first time. He would deffo scare you off.

Box ticking will be applied, and then you can make your own mind up henceforth.

Gwan cokey, you make yourself angry, based on nothing

Sky ought to throw the cheque book at Adam Hills and Helen Skelton. Two fresh faces who don't make it all about themselves like the current clowns at sky.

100%

I'd be much more interested in Bill Arthur leaving Sky.

Find a commentator who can actually string a sentence together.

Well the money Sky saved on the new deal we should chuck some money at Andrew Voss or any of the Aussie commentators. Listening to the NRL games is so much better than what is served up over here. Wonder if I can get a discount from Sky with having my TV muted most of the time with RFL games.

I think Sky care very little for the game or coverage now
